Brewing a perfect cup of Earl Grey tea

• For the best flavour always use fresh, filtered, low mineral cold water. Never reboil the water as it loses oxygen and becomes flat.
• Water temperature has a profound impact on infusion quality, so brewing to the correct temperature will make sure you extract the optimum flavour of this tea at 99C.
• Steeping time is very much a matter of taste when it comes to Earl Grey. Most tea connoisseurs steep their tea at 2-4mins.
• Exact measurements will vary depending on how strong you like your tea, how large your favorite cup is, and how many cups your teapot holds. For loose tea, we recommend one and a half teaspoon per eight-ounce cup.
• Enjoy it with lemon or milk or savour the natural flavour and color straight from the pot.

Earl Grey tea benefits

A cup can boost your overall health. Here’s a breakdown of earl grey tea benefits. 

• Energy booster - Earl Grey features a caffeine boost like coffee without some side effects. Caffeine levels in tea are lower and can perk you up and keep you active throughout the day. 

• Improves Immunity – A key ingredient in Earl grey tea is bergamot. It has become recognized as having many health benefits. While it adds that delicious citrusy flavour to the tea, it also has antibacterial properties that give your immune system a boost. This tea is an ideal cold remedy. 

• Boosts metabolism - Citrus has always been believed to encourage weight loss and combined with the polyphenols in the tea will increase your metabolism to quicken the weight-loss process. Next time you enjoy a cuppa Earl Grey, try adding lemon for a great taste and benefit to your body!

• Improves digestion - It helps protect your gut health and support the digestion process. And if you need more reasons to drink Earl Grey, these same ingredients have natural anti-inflammatory qualities that can help relieve constipation and acid reflux.

Celebrate the holidays with Earl Grey tea

Bold in flavour. Rich in holiday spirit. There’s an Earl Grey for everybody. Take a moment to sit down, relax and enjoy one of our aromatic and flavourful Earl Grey teas.

• 190g powdered brown sugar
• 5 tablespoons Tea Drop Traditional Chai Latte Powder
• 84g butter

Frosting

• 115ml Heavy cream
• 90g powdered brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons Traditional Chai Latte Powder

How to rock and roll?

1. In a large bowl add flour, salt, softened butter and eggs.
2. In a separate bowl warm up the milk and add sugar and yeast and stir till it dissolves. (Warm milk not hot -  we do not want to kill the yeastlings)
3. Begin mixing the flour mixture by slowly adding the milk mixture to it. You can use a standard mixer bowl to speed up and the process but we did it the old fashion way and used our hands to knead the dough. (this takes time and can get messy)
4. Knead the dough till it loses its stickiness and doesn’t stick to the surface.
5. Roll up the well kneaded dough into a ball and let it sit in the bowl covered with a plastic wrap. Let it rise for an hour or until doubled.
6. Now whisk together the brown sugar and the Traditional Chai Latte powder
7. Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough out into a large and thick rectangle with even edges.
8. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
9. Sprinkle evenly the chai sugar.
10. Tightly roll up the dough, forming a thick log and cut into 12 evenly sized pieces. Each about 2 inches thick.
11. Lightly grease a baking dish and fill it with the rolls. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 30 minutes.
12. Remove plastic wrap. Bake the rolls in a pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown at 170 ˚C.
13. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, Traditional Chai Latte powder and powdered sugar until smooth.
14. Go ahead and drizzle on your chai cream frosting over the freshly baked rolls while it’s still warm.
